Jesus Christ is the Messiah that the Jews have been looking for for several millennia. Most of them rejected Jesus while He was here, but it is not too late for anyone, Jew or Gentile, to accept Him now. Believing that Jesus is the Messiah is not anti-Semitic, because Jesus Himself was a Jew.
Jesus declared that He was the Messiah:
25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.John 4:25,26
Jesus was rejected out right by most people. No one want to admit that the Old Testament declared that God has a Son, and they accused Him of blasphemy when He called Himself the Son of God. The Jews convicted Jesus, and the Gentile Romans executed Him. We were all involved in Christ’s death, it wasn’t just the Jews. He died for us all.
